perf(javascript): parse into a SyntaxTree and print from it when the minifier neither compresses nor mangles - #22643
Conversation
…its SyntaxTree minify with compress: false and mangle: false parses the source into a SyntaxTree and prints it with a tree printer reading only the tree and its tokens, skipping adoptEstree and the phases; any option the tree printer cannot match yet falls back to printing terser's tree. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
The tree printer adds the source mappings printEstree adds, so a minify asking for a source map prints from the tree too. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
…is read addEstree takes a child already written as its id, so the tree parse writes each function body once the parser finishes it and its ESTree nodes go before the rest of the source is read: the live heap holds the tree, not the tree and the whole ESTree.

…riants sweep (#22648) * fix(javascript): print what the printer reads back the same - Keep the parentheses an `import()`'s arguments and callee need, which terser drops: `import(a, (b, c))` gained an argument and `new (import(a))` stopped parsing. - Print a directive spelled with escapes as spelled. Encoding its text as a value doubled each backslash at every print, so `"a\\b"` became another string.

The tree comparator moves from `test/helpers/compareParserOutput.js` into the script, which the parser suites now import it from. The printer gains terser's `minify_sync` as `modules.minifySync`, so the sweep stays synchronous like the CSS and HTML ones.

Summary
First step of moving the JS minifier to the struct-of-arrays tree, the shape CSS and HTML already use. Hooks are not touched.
SyntaxTree(addEstree), each function body as soon as it is read, so its objects can go early.treePrintphase prints straight from the tree: one table per job (generators,parensTests,mappings) keyed byNodeType, over the sameMinifiedOutputstream, comments and source maps included.minifytakes this path when it neither compresses nor mangles. Anything it can't match yet (wrap,enclose, spidermonkey,format.ast, aformat.commentsfunction, several files, a tree as input) falls back to today's path.minify(code, { compress: false, mangle: false }), medians of alternating runs:Output (code and source map) is byte-identical to
main: lodash, three and typescript under 9 option sets, and the minify corpus (90,256 cases with the tree path, 40,601 with the standard sets, 0 mismatches). Next steps move mangling and then the compressor onto the tree.What kind of change does this PR introduce?
